I have looked in every possible way I can think of and still can't find this comic.
Published with Whitman Logo by Western in 1978-79

Dynabrite comics have been asked about before, so a forum search for Dynabrite would have found you the answer (posted by moi no less), so a tip for the future. also, searching for just Dynabrite comes up with the series, which CPG calls Dynabrites with an S, so wondering if that's correct? seems to me that the cover titles of Dynabrites should come up on searches anyway, with Dynabrite as a 'type' of production ("10x7 1/8 size/Dell-GK Reprints/Blank inside cardboard cover"), so searching with All Types should still bring them up, but it doesn't. so something to consider for the database index, whenever all the new bugs get fixed of course. That would be like listing Marvel Treasury comics as just 'Treasuries' instead of Marvel Treasury Edition, right? comics.org lists them as Dynabrite Comics. So if it says 'Dynabrite' inside, then CPG should change it to Dynabrite or Dynabrite Comics too.
they're all listed here in case you have more: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/dynabrites/pcsyi

I've updated the title as requested. It made sense. I don't see the options for alternate search terms yet. If that comes back online I will put the original name (Dynabrites) in there. That was a fun rabbit hole, but an interesting story with these Dynabrite Comics. If you are interested, CBR summarizes them well. In a blog post from September 28, 2010. In it, they explain: "
"[What is a Dynabrite comic, you ask? Well, it was a 1978 experiment in ‘high quality’ comic books that pre-dated the Baxter paper era at DC by several years. Whitman was an imprint of Western Publishing, responsible for Gold Key comics and Little Golden Books. The covers are printed on cardboard stock and the interior pages are on a high-quality semi-glossy paper that enhances the nice colors. The books typically contained reprint material, combined from two previously published Gold Key or Dell comic books. They are typically 48 pages in length and measure 10" x 7 1/8" By my count, there were 14 books published in this format. There are no ads, and the interior covers are blank. The back covers feature ads for the Dynabrite line...
...Aside from Disney, there was a Bugs Bunny volume; the only Warner Brothers licensed issue. The indicia states that these stories are from 1957, 1958, 1959 and 1964....
...highlight of the Dynabrite line are the two Star Trek issues, both published in 1976 with contemporary reprints.]"
